Pollution, rising taxes and
road maintenance were the items
of major concern to Mayor James
B. Cumming of North Saanich
when he gave his inaugural ad-
dress to council on Monday night.

“The 1970s are not going to
be easy years,’’ he warned. ‘We
have to accept a new awareness
and a new attitude toward pollu-

“The high cost of borrowed
money and our own very strict
building and. health. regulations
will control, and to sorne extent
retard building and construction
in our area, but there is a steady
growth in the Northern Penin-
sula which we must accept and
control, Our policy has been,
and is, to live within our. in-
coine, to require developers to
provide all possible services at

tion of our environment, the land,
the sea and the air we breathe,”
Mentioning the more strict en-
furcement of health regulations,
he said that there could: be un=
popular. steps to control Jand and
water pollution in our area,

the development expense, and not
at the cost of the caxpayer,’’ he
stated,

The Mayor-said that municipal
finances care “in. excellent.
shape,’? noting that total assess-
‘ments are up about 10 per cent.

The value of new homes shows a
steady increase, ‘‘a most de-
_ Sirable state of affairs,’’ he said.

Mayor Cumming . reviewed
events of the past year, refer-
ring to ‘the difficulties in the
fire department organization,
which we now. feel are on the
way to resolution.’’ On this he
did not elaborate.

He-continued: “Our council
did not object to: regional plan-
ning as proposed; our. fear is
that there are not sufficient safe-
guards to prevent the rules being
changed to suit those with vot»
ing. control. Our” independent

- planning is. important to cus.

Mayor Cumming referred
briefly to new marine planning
